Nevada Governor signs bill to allow smoking in standalone bars that serve food. Despite opposition from health officials, taverns and standalone bars have won the right to permit both smoking and food service under a bill signed into law Friday by Gov. Brian Sandoval. The new law becomes effective immediately. Under Assembly Bill 571, those under 21 will be barred from taverns where food and smoking is permitted. Under the bill, taverns and bars also could offer two sections: one where adults could smoke and eat, and a second, completely enclosed, no-smoking area for families and adults who prefer that option. Meanwhile, in New York: The Daily Show with John Stewart. Sam Bee reports on the smoking ban in NYC parks. The video shows how silly the Anti's are demanding a smoke free park when there are so many real problems around! Great job!!! Your Cigarette Packages! USA FDA Cigarette Health Warnings. Beginning September 2012, FDA will require larger, more prominent cigarette health warnings on all cigarette packaging and advertisements in the United States. These warnings mark the first change in cigarette warnings in more than 25 years and are a significant advancement in communicating the dangers of smoking. No ifs, ands or butts FDA warning photos faked. There is only one problem with the federal government’s great campaign of graphic images aimed at combating the deceit of tobacco companies and rescuing us from our stupid selves. The images are fabricated. The dead man with the zipped-up chest? “It’s not a dead body,” the spokesman assured me. "It’s an actor. It’s supposed to be a cadaver after an autopsy." The man with the wispy smoke coming out of the hole in his throat? "That’s a Photoshopped illustration." The baby in an incubator is a creepy drawing. More... The Black Pig Lung Hoax. It was an outright bald-faced lie. "Pankiw described the centerpiece of his anti-smoking display as the diseased lung of a 150-pound man who smoked for 15 years. Actually, it was a pig's lung shot full of various carcinogens on purpose, but, Pankiw said later, his lesson was made stronger by not passing along that tidbit of truth."
